File Access and Multiuser Configuration
API
Macromedia recommends that you always use the File Access and Multiuser Configuration
API to access the file system through C-level extensions. For files other than configuration
files, the functions access the specified file or folder.
Dreamweaver supports multiple-user configurations for the Windows XP, Windows 2000,
and Mac OS X operating systems.
Typically, you install Dreamweaver in a restricted folder such as C:/Program Folders in
Windows. As a result, only users with Administrator privileges can make changes in the
Dreamweaver Configuration folder. To enable users on multiuser operating systems to create
and maintain individual configurations, Dreamweaver creates a separate Configuration folder
for each user. Whenever Dreamweaver or a JavaScript extension writes to the Dreamweaver
Configuration folder, Dreamweaver automatically writes to the user Configuration folder
instead. This process lets each user customize Dreamweaver configuration settings without
disturbing the customized configurations of other users.
Dreamweaver creates the user Configuration folder in a location where the user has full read
and write access. The location of the user's Configuration folder depends on the user's
platform.
For Windows 2000 and Windows XP platforms:
<drive>:\Documents and Settings\<username>\ ¬
Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration
In Windows XP, this folder may be inside a hidden folder.
